Madame Bovary is Flaubert's masterpiece, initially a succes de scandale and now a landmark in European literature.

He took for his subject French bourgeois life in all its inglorious banality, and invented a paradoxically original and wholly modern style to match. His heroine is Emma, a bored provincial housewife who abandons her husband Charles Bovary to pursue the libertine Rodolphe in a desperate love affair.

Work Description

Charles Bovary, médecin de campagne, veuf d'une mégère, fait lors d'une tournée la rencontre du père Rouault et de sa fille, Emma. Après leur mariage, Emma reste insatisfaite et rêve d'une nouvelle vie. Son premier amant lui donne le goût du luxe et fait miroiter un avenir à deux avant de l'abandonner. Une fois remise, Emma continue à faire de folles dépenses, qui peu à peu la mènent à la ruine et au déshonneur. (Résumé par Nadine)
